Free Republic

FDR, Carter

Conservatism, works every time that it is tried. See Ronald Reagan and the Republican congressional runs of 1994. That is Toomey’s ticket to victory. It is still unknown as to whether there will be enough turnout in central Penn to beat the Philly and Pittsburgh savages back.

The dems aren’t acting like winners. For people that have it ‘in the bag’ they don’t act like that. I was taken to task by a DNC operative over a letter to the editor I’d written that expressed my distaste for BO.

They aren’t acting like winners. I know the last time poll numbers were questioned the republicans lost the congress but...I just have a feeling that this is going to be closer than advertised.

Good call and don’t forget off shore. But you’re preaching to the choir here brother. Write your rep, if he is a dem point out how high gas prices hurt the working class (almost sounds good enough to get me on Obama’s speech writing team. I guess it’s easy to spread ignorance).

Write a letter or two to the editor. The left knows the opinions of people on Free Republic. They don’t care. They ‘re scared to death when you publicize those views and force people to think.

Keep the sunny side up!

I wonder if the no-show had anything to do with the chunk of cash they lost in Pennsylvania after that lawsuit? I don’t know if it did, but good on people turning these gadfly’s tactics back onto them.

“Don’t confuse the global warmers with the facts.”

You really can’t. If you want to see an example of people who’ve bought lock, stock and barrel into a cult the global warming crowd is it.

They can’t explain global warming in their own words. It is always regurgitation of a website of some “scientist”. When the “scientist” is showed to be a paid environmental hack it doesn’t dissuade these people.

They’ll just ignore any factual data you present. For me it all comes down to one thing: They can’t predict the weather two weeks from now so they can’t predict it fifty years from now. Weather is the major determinant of climate so the argument of weather being different from climate is axed.

But it doesn’t matter. These people will continue on with these childish fantasies because they believe that a screwy light bulb can affect the gross energy of three billion plus cubic miles of atmosphere.

You’re getting warmer. It’s not “special rights,” it is “special privileges.”

One might say in a sentence that, “Leroy got that job because he gets special privilege because he is black.” While I don’t want to get into a contest since I’m not supporting any of these monkeys who are currently running another sentence will be: “Susan got a special privilege on her health insurance because of her live in partner Barbara.”

Remember the Constitution granted us all equal rights. It is government that is creating special privileges over what an ordinary American can have.

Meanwhile gas prices climb and there hasn’t been a single bill put forth to allow off shore drilling or drilling in Alaska. Where are all these people losing their homes? What a classic shuck and jive and the public falls for it.

Hey screw in one of those useless mercury filled light bulbs. Maybe that will fix everything because everybody seems to believe the sunshine that Washington is blowing.

“I’m a great believer in minority rights. But how did we EVER get to the place where minority rights trumped majority rights?”

That’s because you fell for the big lie. The Constitution granted equal rights to everyone. Some had a tougher row to hoe but they had the same rights as others.

Minority rights are not rights in the Constitutional sense. They are special privileges that have been bestowed on select groups. Next time you hear of affirmative action (another thing the Supreme Court got wrong) think special privilege. Darnell moves to the front of the line solely because of skin color.

I think like any good ad campaign this service is telling people what they want to hear. The trouble is not the dating agency. It’s women who want to be men. They’ve succeeded but they are nothing more than copies of the worst men. The type of men that other men don’t trust, won’t turn their back on and think the worst of.

I wouldn’t assign any motives to this agency except wanting to make profit; nothing wrong with that.

You have to love the news. People are ‘suffering’ because of credit card debt. Now, call me a contrarian but its hard to feel sympathy for someone who went in over his head to buy a 57” plasma TV, new curtains, and $65 jeans (preripped...we used to call those...garbage). Also I saw a news story on ABC. A couple, not rich mind you, got their pooch a ten thousand dollar hip replacement.

Gas prices are bad and the market is down. But this strikes me as typical baby boomer whining. But hey you guys voted to not drill for oil or build refineries. Guess you got exactly what you wanted huh?

Nehemiah Scudder is at it again.

“Bernard Buigues, vice president of the Geneva-based International Mammoth Committee. “It could tell us why this species didn’t survive ... and shed light on the fate of human beings.”

I’m sure this Buigues is eminently more educated than I, but hey...men are not mammoths. I guess that fact wasn’t included in his masters’ classes. We determine our ‘fate’ the same way we decided to crawl out of caves and change things.

Besides this is all rubbish. The global warming cult will tell you that the earf is only one hundred and fifty years old. That is where they base all of their ‘findings’ from.

There are going to be ten of millions of these things being disposed of. I don’t need a website to replace rational thought. We already overreact to the introduction of relatively harmless chemicals. But mercury is not harmless and there will be tons of it being released thanks to these things.

Back to my original premise though. Why not let the market (people) decide?

The trouble with the party, both parties in fact is that none of them are running a real person. Right now, the only republican I vaguely identify with is Duncan Hunter (it’s not an endorsement...just a feeling based on his experiences and such). But get real. Hillary Clinton identifies with the common man? Puhlease! That woman came out of the womb seeking power. She’s the epitome of feminism: women who’ve became like men, the worst kind of men.

Obama and Maxie Edwards? Both rich politicians, there isn’t one thing that I identify with them. Fred Thompson? Sure I travel in Hollywood circles and have boinked several country and western singers, sure. Mitt Romney? He looks like a psychotic version of a Ken doll. Another rich ne’er do well who has benefited from the public trough.

I’d like to see my friend Gary from the warehouse run for president. I’d vote for him. You see as long as keep voting in career politicians nothing will change. We need to start electing real people, not these phonies.

I’d like to think that we are stemming the tide on the modern version of phrenology. I’ve been writing companies that use green in their advertisements to tell them no thanks: I won’t be buying. I’m not trying to start a campaign but once the money dries up so will the global warming hoax.

Someone at work brought up a point about these things. Aren’t they full of mercury? Isn’t that bad for the environment? Next time you see some enviro freak pushing these things ask about the disposal of millions of these things. Lay it on like a liberal and ask how they can live with themselves after exposing little children to vaporous mercury.

“95 % of the public don’t buy this light bulb hoax, so big brother will force us to do what’s best for us”

You hit it there. If everyone buys this environmental crap then let the market dictate that. Oh that’s right: no one buys it so they’ll tell us what products we can buy.

Christ! The poor woman isn’t even cold in the ground yet and she has become a campaign ploy. Stop it!

I think for a real third party to win it would take ten years. I’d want to see a third party, not so interested in electing a president but rather running on local issues in predominantly blue states: runaway property taxes, extortion being exacted to pay urban voters, nanny state laws, gun laws.

After an election cycle a successful third party could position itself to take on mainly democrats at first; house elections perhaps even a senate seat or two. If successful it would then turn on republicans especially if they refused to accept fiscal constraints.

For national issues I think a conservative third party should be about fiscal good sense and personal responsibility. Two goals should be restoring appointments of senators to the various state houses with term limits thrown in and some sort of reexamination of the supreme court. While a good idea it is obvious that the court has gone from interpreter to creator of laws. Some sort of amendment needs to be drafted to correct that.

I don’t think there is no magic third party that can win at the national level; certainly not the libertarians or the constitution parties. The only way a real conservative third party is going to win is by starting at the grass roots.

As far as the usual prattle about ‘electing democrats’. Try reading history, hell, try living. I’m forty seven and seen personal freedoms erode in my lifetime. We’ve had republican presidents and both houses of congress. Anyone who thinks that the republicans are conservative how about giving the rest of us some of what you are smoking.
